Our verdict

A strong hold gel for sleek ponytails, buns and edges that adds shine and controls frizz all day. Its strong hold and sweet scent are not for anyone wanting soft, touchable curls or an unscented product.

Overview

Not a soft curl cream, this SheaMoisture gel gives firm, all day hold for slicked back styles, ponytails, buns and braids. Castor seed oil, shea butter and linseed oil add shine without alcohol.

Strong hold with shine and frizz control hold sleek styles neat from morning to night. Hold that firm can feel stiff for loose wash and go curls, and the fruity scent is strong.

Who it's for

People with curly or coily hair who style slicked back looks and want frizz under control. Those preferring soft, scrunchable curls or no fragrance should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strong, all day hold
  • Two jars in the pack
Cons
  • Firm hold may feel stiff
  • Sweet scent is strong
  • Not for soft wash and go looks

Performance notes

Flaxseed derived gel forms a firm film as it dries, holding hair in place, while oils keep the film from looking dull or flaking. Applying to damp hair and brushing smooth gives the sleekest finish. More product means firmer hold.
